Psalm
138
Praising God for saving me
I will praise you, O Father,
with all my heart;
before
the “gods” I will sing your praise.
I will bow down toward your
holy temple
and
will praise your name
for
your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all
things
the
name ‘Jesus’ and your Word the Bible.
Because Jesus lives forever,
he
has a permanent priesthood.
Therefore he is able to save me
completely,
as
I come to you through him, O Father,
as
he always lives to intercede for me.
Such a high priest meets my
need –
one
who is holy, blameless, pure,
set
apart from sinners,
exalted above the heavens.
Therefore when I called, you
answered me;
you
made me bold and stout-hearted.
May all the governments of the
earth praise you, O
Lord
Jesus,
when
they hear the words of your mouth.
May they sing of your ways,
Lord Jesus,
for
your glory is great, O Lord.
Though you are the Lord on
high,
you
look upon the lowly,
but
the proud you know from afar.
For your Father has hidden
these things
from
the wise and learned,
and
revealed them to little children.
Therefore I come to you
for
I am weary and burdened,
I
trust that you will give me rest.
I will take your yoke upon me
and learn from you,
for
you are gentle and humble in heart,
and
I will find rest for my soul.
For you yoke is easy
and
your burden is light.
Though I walk in the midst of
trouble,
you
will preserve my life;
you will stretch out your hand
against
the anger of my spiritual foes,
with
your right hand you save me.
You, O Lord, will fulfil your
purpose for me;
your
love, O Jesus, endures forever—
you
will not abandon the works of your hands.
Therefore I can be confident of
this,
that
since you have begun a good work in me,
you
will carry it on until your day, O Christ Jesus.
Phil. 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a
good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
